Twas The Night Before Christmas Offered just in time for you to read this most famous poem, that has thrilled generations, in the spot once owned by its author, Clement Clarke Moore, this unique offering is situated in a private park reminiscent of a cathedral close, shared by The General Theological Seminary, in what used to be the apple orchard of the Moore family estate. The estate was named Chelsea . Moore started to divide the property in keeping with the progress of the The Manhattan Grid, the plan of urban subdivision that had begun above Houston Street. The neighborhood kept the name as it developed, and in 1827 Moore donated the apple orchard to the General Theological Seminary in 1827, where he served as the first professor of studies of countries of the Orient. It has remained unchanged until this building was built last year. The garden is gated and private, available to the very few owners of units in this new development. Enjoy lunch in a lovingly designed flower garden, watch the fireflies light up the twilight under the bowers of ancient trees and expansive lawns as the bells ring for evensong, and all while live in a modern, spacious apartment. Architecturally true to the surroundings, this building has the latest finishes, high ceilings, Caldia marble floors and countertops in the spacious master bath, five fixture bath with Kohler soaking tub, radiant heat, Vermont Royal Danby stone counters in the kitchen, state of the art Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, half bath for guests just off the entry foyer, washer/dryer in the unit, and a storage space should you need it. The building is pet friendly, and the very charming High Line Hotel is right next door for your guests. No other residence in Manhattan even closely resembles this magic place.
